Weeknotes 150

Normally I recommend things to watch, but this time a warning. Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire is not a good film, but Part Two is somehow even worse. I watched the first one because it looked like some space-fun. Just don’t.

I washed my AirPods Pro case 🤦‍♂️. Once I found it amongst the clean, and damp, clothes it immediately lit up and I was able to start charging my headphones immediately 😮 That was several days ago and it is still working fine. Impressive from Apple.

Improved Heroku App Performance with HTTP/2 – Heroku now supports HTTP/2.

We have a bed – it’s fine. I discovered we’ve been sleeping on the wrong side of the mattress, but that the “wrong side” seems more comfortable 🤷‍♂️. Again, never move.

Still car-less, so I took my first LNER train this week. It turned up early, and arrived at it’s destination on-time. My new normal will be LNER trains so I’m not sure if they are just better than GWR or if this was a fluke.

There will only be one more RailsConf. This didn’t particularly surprise me given recent events in the world of Rails conferences. I’ve never been to a RailsConf and one of the reasons for that is they were always in the US. Ironically, I am planning to attend RailsWorld in Toronto this September (which I am aware in not in the US).

Steve Albini died this week way too soon.

We went to see a film at a brand new to us cinema – Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. I thought the first half of the film was better than the second; the ending just seemed to fizzle out and didn’t make sense.

However, the bigger issue, as usual, was the rest of the audience. Get this; the people behind us talked constantly for the 30 minutes of adverts and trailers, and then as the film comes on, that was the moment they chose to get up and go to the toilet. I will never understand some people.

I take the car in to the garage tomorrow – pray for me.
